...how kids plan parties...
If they're dreamers, they want bouncy castles and pony rides and giant tigers.
If they're the children of superheroes, oddly enough they still want those things, but you can't find a good pony that resists nuclear radiation as Tyler's learned. So, in the interest of keeping things simple and within his budget, a party has come together in the backyard of the house of one Augustus Fenwick.
Inside, there's plenty of soda in the fridge, and bowls of chips, dips, crackers, pretzels and ofcourse candy and little paper favor bags. The coffee table between the couch and TV already has one large present wrapped in brown paper (decorated with green watercolor cats) and an absolutely HUGE box wrapped in a myriad of wrapping papers next to it.
Outside in the fenced backyard is a good sized stick, branch and log structure, waiting to be set on fire as soon as the sun really starts to set, and that isn't that far off as the afternoon sunlight reveals. There's a kid in a black trenchcoat that looks about eight sizes too big poking about said structure as Tyler holds open the door for the guests. And decorating the walls, counter top are little decorated brown-paper flags saying 'Happy Birthday Nepeta!" in green letters.

Or Carpet Ships.
"...you sure she's going to like those?" Nepeta might catch the black-haired kid whispering that to Tyler just now.
For his part...Tyler doesn't answer and just waits with a faint smile.

The resultant sound is that high-pitched keen of delight best described as squee.

"Cecil are these from you?"

Beam!

Tyler's grinning from ear to ear, waiting to see what she thinks of his present, as it's the other big box, the one with kitty faces watercolored onto the brown paper.
no subject
She does get the box open pretty quickly for all that, though.

It took him the better part of a month to scour every thrift store and garage sale in town to fill that box with various plush cats. Little leopards, a large lion, a few dozen mixed breed domestic cats..
Most of the box is just looking right up at Nepeta.

This time the squee reaches that special pitch that makes dogs flinch and bats take flight.
Nepeta makes a sincere effort to hug every single plush cat in the box at once, despite the fact that this is physically impawssible.

At a dollar a toy it's the best $25 dollars he's ever spent.
